NW Publishing Conference Table, "Commissioned 2008. $15,000.00 Tim Neun and Randy Weersing collaboration The Douglas fir ìPseudosuga menzieiiî used for this project was discovered when the client drained two mill ponds on their property. The logs were perfectly preserved under water for over 60 years. Yarded out and rough milled to 3î thick and 18í long, then stickered and stacked on open air sheds to slowly air dry and season. Many of the planks were well over 20î wide. Some of the material developed a twist which we removed reducing the thickness of the table top to 2î. To restore the robust appearance of the original planks we applied fir boarders and concealed that seam with an Andaman Padauk ìpterocarpus dalbergiodesî edge. Matching the grain pattern and color was an ordeal. Flipping numerous planks, turning them end for end, flipping again and again to find the best match. For a couple of geezers it was difficult work but as always well worth the effort. The client required access through the center of the table for electrical and electronic connections located in the floor hence the two section top. We inlaid six aluminum bars to visually tie the two halves together. The legs are brushed aluminum. The wedged-through mortise and tenons tying the leg spreaders and stretcher together draws up solidly as the Padauk wedge is driven home."
